From the variety of colours and fragrances you will encounter in Princess Grace’s rose garden to the weird and wonderful rarer plants found in the exotic garden landscaped on Monaco’s rockface, there is a wide enough choice to suit everyone’s taste. 

For anyone looking for a calm haven of tranquility, the Japanese Garden is a good place to while away a few languoroushours. Its beautiful landscaping, combining a harmonic balance of stone, water and vegetation. The bamboo fences, Tea House, stone lanterns, tiles and wooden gates give a true Japanese feel to this exquisite park. Moreover, its location right next to the Mediterranean Sea gives the garden a very special atmosphere.
